nRugged

Specifications

The FIRST and ONLY precision 3D manufacturing/bioprinting platform for harsh environments.

The nRugged is the ruggedized version of nScrypt's direct digital manufacturing platform (Factory in a Tool (FiT)), factory-configured for either 3D manufacturing or bioprinting with automatic tool changes. For example, a complete electronic device or a bioactive bandage can be digitally manufactured in the same machine. The bioprinter configuration can print both biologics and non-biologics with a broad palette of materials. nRugged solves the problem of manufacturing of a precision product, not just a part, in harsh environments, like on a Navy ship in rough waters or on the back of a trailer.
